Watercooling, finally.

res/pump/cpu/mobo/gpus in series/rad then one long return flat on top of the rad back to the bottom of the res.... ??

Yeah I meant GPUs/CPU + mobo in parra, which wouldn't work at all
I got the idea in my head to stick the pump, res and rad ports up the other end and run the loop as above, but then I realised the GPUs were in parallel and would therefore have LESS resistance than the other blocks, which means instead of the flow being split sort of evenly, all the water would just rush through the GPUs and leave the other blocks well enough alone

As for your idea the res only has one port on the top, and the pump should really be intaking from the bottom of the res, so turning it upside down makes none of the senses.
I suppose I could fit a return line down between the side of the case and the rad, where you couldn't see it...

Might try that way tomorrow actually

eh? yeah in and out from bottom of res...i said the tube sitting on top of the rad..or hidden if u can.but goin to bott of res

isnt that how it is now..from cpu to res?

So why would I rotate it 180 degrees?

But yeah, it's straight from CPU to res ATM

Only problem is, if I turn the rad I'd have to recut the whole floor of the case. The end tanks aren't the same size on both ends, and there is literally no room to move, the end tanks are actually friction fit with the front and back of the case

ah shit sry my fault..typo
i meant spin the rad 180 not the res

Yeah that makes more sense. Still wouldn't work though
Plus I only just got this loop bled, if I go draining and rearranging I'll have to sit through it all again.
The DDC was way easier to bleed

Only thing I can say, holy fuck this D5 is quiet. After 10 months of *BZZZZZZZZZZ* 30 cm away from my head, this is fucking bliss

The only Tube that looks out of place is Res to Pump top, but not that bad, it's hard to tell from pics but have you thought of using

Plus

http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?...ducts_id=20340 or longer to connect the two ?


The other option is turn the pump on it's end and use http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?...ducts_id=20339

to connect the two

As I said hard to tell from the pics the clearances and how things line up, also with the second option you would need to re-tube the pump outlet or use a 90 which you said you didn't like.
